coding for the sake of coding is, well, dumb.

The number of down votes the parent comment has seems to me like a litmus test of people who will use AI and those that are just critical of it.

I have my reservations about AI but so far I’ve found ways to make me faster. So I’ll continue to use it but make sure to review my usage regularly.

The number of downvotes reflects the fact that people don't consider just calling something "dumb" a worthwhile contribution to the discussion.

Is painting for the sake of painting dumb too?

that's a dumb comparison. are you equating writing code to painting like Michaelangelo?

Did Michaelangelo paint his works himself, or did he buy a bunch of slaves and give them some prompting?

Eh, take your fav painter then.
